Ratatan (PS5)

Ratatan is diving onto the roguelike scene in this combination of rhythm and side-scroller action where players move to the groove alone or team up with friends in multiplayer mayhem for up to four players. Engage in huge melee brawls with more than 100 characters duking it out for supremacy as you defeat enemies by riding the rhythm of a catchy, toe-tapping soundtrack. This delightful, heartfelt adventure combines charming 2D animation and vivid personality with a strategic gameplay loop that requires a keen sense of timing to survive long adventures and protect your faithful servants.

Feel the beat and use rhythm commands in time with the music to order your Cobun in the direction you want them to go. The Ratatan can be moved freely, so use your better judgement to decide where best to give orders, where to stand when on the offensive, and when to retreat.

Keep to the beat and your party will enter FEVER MODE, where the background music dynamically changes and your Cobun erupt in a flurry of frenzied dance moves. If everyone's party goes into FEVER MODE at the same time, you will really bring the house down.

Ratatan makes use of charming 2D animation with movements filled with vivid personality. The Cobun, your faithful and lovable servants, will wibble-wobble as they follow your orders, while your enemies will try to intimidate with their often hilarious movements.

A sense of rhythm and strategy is crucial in order to survive long adventures while losing as few Cobun as possible.
